LAPP Cable inlet

The LAPP “cable inlet” product area (including LAPP cable glands, LAPP sealing cable entries, LAPP strain relief fittings, LAPP waterproof glands, LAPP cable entry systems) provides the mechanical interface between your cabling systems and enclosures — ensuring both environmental sealing and mechanical cable protection. Good cable entry design is critical for reliability, safety and ease of maintenance.

Complete Range of LAPP Cable Entry Solutions

Within this category you’ll find:

• LAPP cable glands (single-entry, multi-cable, plastic/brass/stainless) for inserting individual cables into enclosures and achieving strain relief.
• Sealing cable entries from LAPP — for example multi-entry solutions where many cables need to pass through a panel with full sealing.
• Strain relief fittings — cable glands are essentially strain relief plus sealing, ensuring cables can’t be pulled or vibrated loose
• Waterproof glands and cable inlets rated for high ingress protection (IP 68, IP 69) for outdoor, marine, or harsh-environment use.
• Cable entry systems (multi-entry frames) that simplify installation when multiple cables pass through one bulkhead or enclosure

These components are crucial for building enclosures, control cabinets, machine tools, switchgear, junction boxes — anywhere the cable meets the panel. Specifying reliable entries is just as important as the cable selection itself.

Technical & Specification Highlights

Materials & Construction

LAPP offers cable glands made of plastic, brass and stainless steel to suit the application: outdoors, chemically aggressive, mobile machines.
For example, the SKINTOP® MS-M brass glands provide high mechanical and chemical resistance with protection class IP 68 (10 bar) or IP 69 (in certain sizes). 

Sealing and Strain Relief

According to LAPP:

“Cable glands allow cables to be inserted into a housing … securely seal both the cables and the housing and achieve cable strain relief.”
The normative basis is DIN EN 62444 for cable gland strain relief.
For example, the SKINTOP® MS-M version handles large clamping ranges up to Ø 98 mm and is built with a double-lamella cage for heavy cables. 

Environmental Protection

When installing cables into enclosures, ingress of dust or water can degrade components or cause downtime. LAPP cable inlets meet high IP ratings (IP 66, IP 67, IP 68, IP 69) and temperature ranges (down to –40 °C, up to +100 °C or more depending on material).
The multi-entry systems support both assembled and unassembled cables with gel seals or membrane technology for modular inserts.

Application Insights

• For outdoor installations (panels, switchgear, solar inverters) use waterproof glands rated IP 68/69 with UV-resistant jackets.
• For mobile machinery or robotics choose glands with high strain relief, flexible cages, and vibration resistance.
• For panel upgrades where many cables pass through one aperture, multi-entry systems save time, improve sealing and reduce labour.
• Ensure all unused holes/blanks are sealed (blanking plugs) to maintain IP rating. LAPP offers accessories such as blanking plugs, locknuts, reducers. 
   

Why Choose LAPP Cable Inlet Systems?

• Integrated brand: LAPP provides not only the cables but also the entry systems (glands) so compatibility and documentation are consistent.
• High engineering standard: materials, design, approvals (UL, VDE, DNV) for demanding environments.
• Wide range: single entries, multi entries, various thread sizes (M16–M110), materials, clamping ranges — ensuring you cover everything from small control cables to large power feeders.
• Installation-friendly: modular inserts, quick-fit systems (e.g., SKINTOP® Click) reduce labour.
• Suitable for B2B wholesale and large scale procurement: installers, panel builders, machine builders benefit from one brand standard.
